Damn, those seem very well made. I am curious how long you have been working with fiberglass/carbon? Is it as easy as you make it look. I am guessing not. Anyway, nice job! A+++

I've worked with fibreglass before, carbon fibre is something new but similar. Haha, glad i made it look easy :lol: ...wish it was the case. Lots of personal time invested making a master and mold and getting the quality where I want it. This is a project i started earlier in the year and didnt want to put anything out there until I had it up to a professional level...i'm very picky about my stuff and seeing as how i wanted one for my bike as well I spend more time on it. :thumb:

Very nice!  :thumb:

wow, looks great.
one question though-what size tire is that on there and what max size tire can you get? if you go from a 130 to a 140 series tire the width grows more than a cm or two.

I made it originally for my bike, an '04 GS500f, stock. But left a cm clearance on either side for wider tires. The inside width from lip to lip is 16cm.
